Fifty participants build sand castles

The Friends of the Beach organized their second sand castle contest of the summer on a Wednesday. The start was given at 3:15 p.m., at low tide; the rise of the water set the limit of the construction time.

Fifty participants each had a square of one meter on the side. Buckets, spades, trowels and plastering floats were used to build towers and ramparts. A jury of volunteers distinguished the best achievements by age group, from six-year-old children to adults.

This free animation closed the summer program after the rally, the fireworks, the Saint-Jean, the fair of all things and the first sand competition of July.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The words “about fifteen” follow the description of the age groups, but their exact referent is unclear; no number of adults or number of categories has been inferred.
